Metal Gear Solid...... much harder than I remembered! I'd also forgotten the good old days when walking over a fallen enemy didn't result in picking up a gun or ammo.

Beedles lake or The Leicestershire normally

Started playing more and more this year and set myself a target of breaking 100 before the year was out. Scored exactly 100 twice (including a complete blow up 8 shots on a par 4 18th to ruin a solid round). Finally broke it back at the start of September when everything seemed to flow nicely and managed to shoot 95. Following that, treated myself to a new driver as just been using a Wilson package set which has done me very well but the driver in particular is very flexible. Went for a fitting and all went well, added about 20 yards to my drive on the simulator and all looked good..... then shot my worst round of the year and lost all confidence. Starting hooking the ball really badly and just couldn't get going on anything. Drives were wild, irons all over the place, no delicate chips around the green and couldn't read a putt to save my life. Few weeks off from it all and then went out with no practice on Friday and shot 99. Stupid sport.

I'm playing the original Metal Gear Solid as a break from Baldur's Gate and to relive my youth! Bloody hell I didn't realise it was that hard.... I was expecting to breeze through it with being more experienced at gaming then my teenage self but really finding it tricky. I think it just shows how modern games spoil us with being able to change view to first person to shoot and also to collect weapons and ammo dropped by enemies etc. Having a fixed camera rather than being able to rotate it using the right joystick is also something you massively take for granted! Intrigued as to how it works with Physco Mantis in this version as remember being blown away that he could read your saved files from a memory card and stuff like that.
